ou started the discussion vulva cancer. I was recently diagnosed with vulva

I was recently diagnosed with vulva cancer…(stage 2 squamous cell) .the doctor wants to operate ——- ,,operation will include removal of clitoris…..therefore, I asked the doctor for another option, prior to the operation, that could shrink the tumor which is now 2.2 centimeters in size.

I have been given the option of chemo only from one doctor and chemo and radiation together (referred to as “chemo rads” ) from another doctor

Both options have the hope of shrinking the tumor …. My thinking is that if the tumor shrinks, I can save the clitoris and have less radical surgery. Has any one had any similar experience? I am desperate for information . Both doctors want to perform operation first…. Has anyone had radiation in the vulva area? Or chemo? Please respond thank you
